Another bullied gay teen lost to suicide. 16-year-old Brandon from Texas took his own life on June 2, according to family and friends. Brandon’s mother, said on Friday that her son was bullied at school for two years because he did not want to hide the fact that he was gay.
“He got bullied simply for being gay,” she said. “He’s been threatened to be stabbed. He’s been threatened to be set on fire.” Brandon’s mother said the school district did everything it could to help solve the problem. “They’ve reprimanded several kids and they did everything that they could”. Brandon’s friends told her that there was an incident on Friday at school where someone insulted her son and told him that he planned to fight him the next week.
